As I worked yesterday it became apparent that the upper rock ledge was actually distracting,<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

drawing attention away from the babies, so I lopped off three and a half inches. Good! Now there is even less to work on! I thought the right upper brush border was too dark but I liked the idea of it so I re cut another from a lighter section of fabric and sewed it in.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

By the end of the day, I had completed the units and sewn together the sections of the upper portion as well as the lower ledge.<\/p>\n

This required some un sewing which is time consuming but necessary. Since I had to take apart the rock area below the back kid’s face I took the opportunity to add a smidgen of white to define his chin. Unfortunately while I was in there I forgot that I also wanted to enlarge his eye. I pinned up a bit of fabric to his eye and I really do think it is worth doing. I could go in with a Pigma pen and make it a little bigger but then there would be a seam line right across his eye. Not good. I will most likely take it apart again and fix it.<\/p>\n

For the lower right border that was questionable – dark foliage, fern?- I ended up with neither, using instead some of the flower fabric that is in the hillside, with a bit more on the right edge of the rock ledge.<\/p>\n

I sketched noses on vellum and pinned those in place on the two closest goats for an idea of how they might look.<\/p>\n

At this point the piece measures about 40 x 46″. Quilting will take it up probably a couple of inches. I had intended for it to finish at least 40″ so I’m not sure what happened. I think I had planned to cut the edge pieces bigger and forgot!<\/p>\n

Tomorrow I will start to address all the little bits I have pinned up and do my tweaks. It is nearly done! But I know from experience it will take longer than I think.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
